School Notes.

The girls’ basketball team is to play a game at Wheatfield on Friday evening, Dec. 9th. Edna Babcock has been elected captain, but the rest of the team have not yet been selected. School now takes up at 1:10 P. M., instead of 1:20. By shortening the music period and recess, the pupils are dismissed at 3:40. This change was made because of the increasing difficulty in studying the last period of the day, and will be continued until the days lengthen. The grade teachers and high school girls practiced basketball as usual Monday and Wednesday nights. The Senior German club met Wednesday night at the home of Agnes Platt. Wilma Peyton, Ethel Parker, Agnes Platt, Irene Simpson and Stella Platt were the entertaining committee. The Junior English class is taking up Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The present Senior class believes in forehandedness. Their class pins have already arrived. Dr. King, who is conducting a health exhibit in Rensselaer this week, gave a lecture to the assembled high school Wednesday morning on tuberculosis.
